Stars and Stripes Chair Benifits Caring Hands Health Clinic
Bold Stars and Stripes decorate the chair artist and former Health Information Administrator Marlene Eubanks painted for Caring Hands Health Clinic. Ms. Eubanks is one of six Helen Arts & Heritage Center artists who volunteered to paint Adirondack chairs to benefit the Clinic.
Helen Arts & Heritage Center Artist Marlene Eubanks proudly posed with the "Stars and Stripes" chair she painted to help raise funds for Caring Hands Health Clinic in Cleveland. Ms. Eubanks is one of six HAHC artists who have used the same style Adirondack chair as a personal canvas to raise money for Caring Hands, a free clinic that serves low income and uninsured persons with chronic conditions.
Ms. Eubanks, a former registered Health Information Administrator, is a multi-disciplined artist who has worked in fiber, mixed media, watercolor and clay. "I chose the flag theme to show my support for our veterans, and for my Marine family heritage." Marlene's grandson, Pfc. Donald R. Eubanks III, currently serves on White House security duty. All six chairs will be raffled on December 15. Tickets can be obtained from HAHC in Helen or the Caring Hands Health Clinic, located in the old Cleveland drugstore on the Square.
